PM to visit farmers in Northeast next week

BANGKOK, April 21 (TNA) -- Senior officials led by Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont will travel to Ubon Ratchathani in the northeast on Monday and meet with farmers to discuss their problems.


Agriculture and Cooperatives Minister Thira Sutabutr said Saturday that the prime minister would hold talks with local farmers on their problems concerning production.

When asked whether the upcoming trip to Ubon Ratchathani province was aimed at preventing people there to travel to Bangkok for protests against the government and the Council for National Security (CNS), Mr. Thira said the trip was meant to help the government learn better about the problems of the people so that more meaningful assistance could be given.

Rumours about recruiting rural residents to demonstrate against the CNS and the government have been circulating for several weeks. Some believe that protests have been 'on hold' until after Songkran, the Thai traditional New Year, which ended earlier this week.

The majority of voters in Thailand (who just happen to NOT support the current military junta) have been corralled under martial law and strong political censorship. Now the military juntas PM wants go talk to them about their problems. Very considerate of him. Democracy, -- Thai style.

There was another news report that he was going there to try and talk them out of going to Bangkok to protest. That sounds more credible but they will probably just block them from going like all the last times..
